2025.2.1

No breaking changes. The updated Spring Boot bits only do affect our own testing. Cypher-DSL does not use anything, either from Spring, Spring Boot or Quarkus directly, hence you can use this release equally with Spring Boot 3 or 4. The same is true for Spring Data Neo4j and OGM, in case you use the Cypher-DSL annotation processor. None of the annotations Cypher-DSL understands has changed in their major releases.

Thanks to @pecollet for finding another—and quite some nasty— bug in the way Cypher-DSL traverses Label expressions.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Leave the Labels expression in all cases and handlers if a delegation had been made.

🔄️ Refactorings

• Adapt to changes in Spring Boot 4.

🧰 Tasks

• Configure ignored blame revs.
